- Acts
- 5th book of the New
Testament.
- 28 Chapters.
- Called the book of
History.
- Acts is the account of early
followers of Christ who, obedient to the Great Commission, began
to spread the good news of a risen Savior throughout the known
world. Each section of the book (1-7; 8-12; 13-28) focuses on
a particular audience, a key personality, and a significant phase
in the expansion of the gospel message. While the apostles are
mentioned collectively at several points, this book really records
the acts of Peter (1-12) and of Paul (13-28).

Paul to the church in the Roman province of Galatia in central

Christ.

- Colossians
- 12th book of the New
Testament.
- 4 Chapters.
- Part of books of Letters.
- Authored by Paul and Timothy.
Probably written by Paul at Rome during his 1st imprisionment
there. Suggested date being a wide range of 57AD to 62AD. Written
to the believers in Colossae, a city in the Lycus Valley which
is modern day South-West Turkey. A major object of the letter,
it seems, was to counteract certain false teaching that had arisen
within the church of Colosse. These teachings are sometimes referred
to as the Colossian heresy. The false teaching appears to have
been teaching that attempted to combine the doctrines of Eastern
mysticism and asceticism with Christianity, thereby promising
believers enjoyment of a higher spiritual life and a deeper insight
into the world of spirits. Paul argues against such teaching,
showing that in Christ they had all things. Paul commands the
saints to "let no one judge you...but the body of Christ,"
- that is, the church itself. He particularly warns the Colossians
against being drawn away from Christ "in whom dwelt all
the fullness of the deity" (2:9), and who is the head of
all spiritual powers. Christ, Paul reminds them, is the head
of the body of which they are members; and if they are truly
united to him, what further need do they have? In chapters 3
and 4 Paul writes practically, teaching about various duties
that naturally flow from the doctrines he has expounded. The
Colossians are exhorted to mind things that are above (Colossians
3:1-4), to mortify every evil principle of their nature, and
to put on the new man (Colossians 3:5-14). Many special duties
of the Christian life are also insisted upon as the fitting evidence
of the Christian character.

Timothy" to all diligence and steadfastness in the face
